Thomas Mowbray

O, let my sovereign turn away his face
And bid his ears a little while be deaf,
Till I have told this slander of his blood,
How God and good men hate so foul a liar.

My lord, you told me you would tell the rest,
When weeping made you break the story off,
of our two cousins coming into London.

My lord, some two days since I saw the prince,
And told him of those triumphs held at Oxford.

Sir Pierce of Exton

2871

As full of valour as of royal blood:
Both have I spill'd; O would the deed were good!
For now the devil, that told me I did well,
Says that this deed is chronicled in hell.
This dead king to the living king I'll bear
Take hence the rest, and give them burial here.
